Hi all
I beg to take advantage of your experience although the topic isn't
completly cluster thing. I got some money to buy a new machine, at least
8Gb and I'm thinking between a 2 x dual core or a 1 x quad (or even 2x
quads). It must be one machine because it must (urgh) be able to use it's
8Gb in serial codes (don't ask). Anyway, I've been experiencing with
paraview for parallel visualization and was wondering on your opinion
on... buying a ultra-duper-cool state-of-the-art graphic card (Nvidia) or
2 graphic cards?
We've been happy with just a single nVidia 8800GTX (state of the art at
the time) card in a quad-socket Opteron machine. This machine is capable
of 128 GB of RAM and two 8800GTX cards although currently we only have 16
GB of RAM, two CPU's (four cores) and one video card. It has been great at
showing our ocean model data in 3D with a customized version of Vis5D.
